A Disgrace and Curse.

The following item respecting prohibition
in Maine was written by Reverend 4. s.
Ladd, Methodist Minister in Bangor, and
published in lions Herald, Boston, Febr,-
AIRY 2, 1887:
AT the anniversary Of the Y. NJ. G. A., n
few weeks ago, the presiding officer, man
born and educated in Bangor, and now II
prominent business man and an active mem
Der Of one Of the Baptist churches, stated in
the presence of very large audience that,
from personal inquiry and investigation, he
had reason to believe that there were at
least one hundred places in our city where
liquor was sold There is a deep feeling
among great many Of our best citizens that
something more MUS; bc done to free our
city from this disgrace and curse. A petit
ton containing about one thousand sigma
lures has recently been presented to our city
government imploring them 10 enfore the
law"
Docs this look like successful working of
prohibition? Would not high license be an
improvement on this state of things in Ban
gor? Is this what we may look for if the
prohibition amendment obtains in Michi-
gan? What all good citizens wish to see is
total suppression of the evils of intemper-
ancc. Can this be done by passing the pro-
posed amendment, supplemented by legisla-
ton to carry 1t into effect? Then human
nature has reached a stage of perfection in
Michigan never as vet known in human his
tory. There is a possibility of our "jump-
ing out of the frying-pan into the fire.

first in Michigan to appreciate the in
adequate protection our laws afford
workingmen, and who fought the first
battle which labor won in the Michi-
gan legislature.
The reason why workingmen re-
ceive so little consideration from law
makers and law-breakers is that they
don't know enough TO stand by their
friends. The capitalists and the mo.
nopolists never forget their friends. A
man who looks after their interests
can always have all the money he
needs to pack conventions and buy
votes. But if an officer does his duty
and stands up for the rights Of the
poor, in nine cases out of ten the very
men he has fought for will desert him
and 60 over to his enemies and theirs
The writer Of these lines has been
for years an earnest advocate of the
principles of organized labor, and we
know how much a man must sacrifice
when he champions the right of the
poor against the rich. Knowing this
we appeal to every honest wage-work.

He made enemies of the rich and

We desire to call the attention of
the Democrats of this district to the
fact that our nominee for Circuit
Judge, j. d. Turpbull, was placed
upon the ticket by the Democracy Of
the district, and that Mr.. Turnbull
only consented to accept the nomina-
ton at the request of the Democracy
and not by his own solicitation.
Under these circumstances it becomes
the duty of every Democrat in the
district to work and vote for the par
ty nominee. If the party hope to
maintain their present foothold in the
future, they must not leave a stone un-
turned which will tend to success. If
Mr.. Turnbull or his friends had packed
the caucuses or conventions to secure
his nomination, the situation might
be looked at differently; but Demo-
Gratis can not afford to loose regular
nominee when chances are favorable
for success.

The Fusion convention last Mon
day nominated strong candidates for
Recorder, Comptroller, Treasurer and
Justice. j. S. McVicar has proved
so capable Recorder the past two
years, that we believe the people will
again elect him. w. III. Post, the
present City Treasurer, has proved a
good official and will be elected. Mr..
Bruneau, for Comptroller, has already
served the people on the school board.
He is well known; we believe him
capable, and hope the Fusionists will
give him their hearty support. II.
Clothier will make good Justice,
and is well qualified for the Office. In
selecting the candidates named above,
the convention did good work, and
every Democrat and National should
make an especial effort towards elect
ing them.

The Labor Journal man, in order
to tighten the load of infamy set on
him by Mr.. Turnbull's plain and un-
varnised statement, that he (Collins)
would support Turnbull with the La
Dor Journal for 500, brings up the
postoffice business. But, as is often
the case with the Journal man, he
did not tell the exact truth. The
facts are that Mr.. Wall was not a
candidate for the postmastership.
Mr.. Wall was one of those in favor
of Geo. NJ. Slusser. Mr.. Turnbull's
man wa. Chas. L. Lynch. The two
parties could not agree, and the lead
ers on one side presented two other
names-Ms N. Bedford and j. G.
Wall, without the knowledge of Mr..
Wall until afterwards, and Mr.. Wall
never sought to be a candidate for
postmaster, although his name was
presented by his friends. The lead
ers of the other side presented Mr..
Culligan. Congressman Fisher de-
cided in favor of Mr.. Culligan, and
Alpena got good postmaster.
Now as regards the want of love
that the Journal charges Mr.. Wall
with having for Mr.. Turnbull, all we
need to say is that he was honorably
nominated by the Democratic party
of this district; that he is we'll fitted
for the office; that he will make a
good and impartial judge, and that
he is as capable as his opponent
Such being the case. the duty of the
ARGUS, as a Democratic newspaper,
is to support Mr.. Turnbull. And as
the ARGUS believes Mr.. Turnbull is
capable and would administer the
duties of the responsible and honor
able position, fairly, honestly, lawful
ly and impartially, it, therefore, sup
ports him cheerfully, and does not
care for the jibes of such political
chameleon as the Journal man, who
changes the color of his political hide
so often that he is uncertain where
he stands politically until he refers to
his latest editorial. He reminds us
of harlequin in theatre play
now you see him and now you don't.
He has been a Democrat, a Ben But
Ter man, a greenbacker, then Dem
ocrat again, then kind of Prohi-
bitionist, and now he is sort of half
shell Republican, trying to soil the
garments of j. ID. Turnbull, and Off
ciating as first bootblack to r. j.
Kelley, whose boots he is trying to
cover with Journal judicial polish.

The Journal lays great stress on the
fact that the Water Works Co. pays
no city tax, but this argument is
crushed by the Journalitself where it
says:
1.-THE Water Works Co, by virtue
of its franchise, is exempt from pay
ing city taxes.p-Journal, March %,
1885.
But the Water Works Co. is asses
sed on the roll for State and county
purposes at 100000, an increase of
$4,000 over the amount assessed pri-
or to the time j. d. Turnbull took
the office of Comptroller.

Judge limerick.
From The Northern Independent

From The Northern Independent
Just after one of the bloody battles
of the rebellion the surgeon of a
Michigan regiment, going through the
field hospital, found group of assis-
tants working over a boyish soldier
who was exhausted with loss Of blood
and faint with suffering. They were
probing and slashing at a CHASTITY
wound in his breast, and the surgeon
at once saw that they were making
one of those plumbers which cost so
many precious lives. He ordered
them to turn the boy upon his face,
and slight incision below the should
or enabled them to extract the bullet.
The incident had entirely passed
from the mind Of the surgeon until
one day, twenty years afterward,
Judge limerick, of Alpena, called up
on DR.. Hampton at Harbor Springs
to thank him for saving his life.
1t is brought to the mind of the
writer by the treatment Judge Emer-
lex received ut the hands of the Re-
publican ring of Alpena. He has
earned the reputation of being one of
the fairest and ablest judges in the
State. He should have been renom-
mated. He was entitled to it. His
friends expected it, But he was
shelved out of the way by gang of
INSCRIPTIONS and selfish caucus-pack-
ers. The man who barred his breast
to rebel bullets and was shot with his
face to the foe has been stabbed in
the back by towards. Will his
friends endorse such treachery, or will
they show their resentment at the

Collins in the last issue of Journal
says:
"Turnbull knew intended to OPP

Then we take it for granted, Mr..
Collins, from the above, that you took

this would seem to account for your
opposition to the regular Democrat
nominee.

Among the excellent nominations
made by the Democrats throughout
the State this spring for Circuit Judges
is that of Hon. j. d. Turnbull, OF
Alpena, who has been nominated to
the twenty-sixth circuit. He is one
of the prominent lawyers of the State
and ripe and good one, too. AS a
lawyer and legislator his record is
honorable and meritorious. He has
been a useful man to his section OF
the State and we have no doubt he
will be cordially supported by the
people of his circuit for the position
for which he has been nominated
